We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…

Let $S$ be a closed orientable hyperbolic surface, and let $\mathcal{O}(K,S)$ denote the number of mapping class group orbits of curves on $S$ with at most $K$ self-intersections. Building on work of Sapir [16], we give upper and lower…

We prove that up to scaling there are only finitely many integral lattices L of signature (2,n) with n>20 or n=17 such that the modular variety defined by the orthogonal group of L is not of general type. In particular, when n>107, every…

We give several families of reasonably small integers $k, \ell \ge 1$ and real positive $\alpha, \beta \le 1$, such that the products $p_1\ldots p_k s$, where $p_1, \ldots, p_k \le m^\alpha$ are primes and $s \le m^\beta$ is a product of at…

Let $F$ be a finite field of odd cardinality $q$, $A=F[T]$ the polynomial ring over $F$, $k=F(T)$ the rational function field over $F$ and $\mathcal{H}$ the set of square-free monic polynomials in $A$ of degree odd. If $D\in\mathcal{H}$, we…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…

We construct a model for the tensor product of the regular 2-representation of the enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_2^+$ with the vector 2-representation, based on the $\infty$-categorical definition of the second author. Our model…

Let $(K,\mathcal O, k)$ be a $p$-modular system with $k$ algebraically closed and $\mathcal O$ unramified, and let $\Lambda$ be an $\mathcal O$-order in a separable $K$-algebra. We call a $\Lambda$-lattice $L$ rigid if ${\rm…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor (for example, rings of integers in algebraic number fields or holomorphy rings in algebraic function fields). For $k \in \mathbb N$, let $\mathcal…

We show that, if $\Gamma$ is a point group of $\mathbb{R}^{k+1}$ of order two for some $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal S$ is a $k$-pseudomanifold which has a free automorphism of order two, then either $\mathcal S$ has a $\Gamma$-symmetric…

For a fixed positive integer $k$, any element $g$ of the permutation group $S_{k}$ acts on the tensor product vertex operator algebra $V^{\otimes k}$ in the obvious way. In this paper, we determine the $S$-matrix of $\left(V^{\otimes…

There are several results in the literature concerning $p$-groups $G$ with a maximal elementary abelian normal subgroup of rank $k$ due to Thompson, Mann and others. Following an idea of Sambale we obtain bounds for the number of generators…

Let D be an irreducible lattice in a connected, semisimple Lie group G with finite center. Assume that the real rank of G is at least two, that G/D is not compact, and that G has more than one noncompact simple factor. We show that D has no…

Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…

Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup…

We determine the exact group structure of the abelianization of $\text{SL}_2(A)$, where $A$ is a Dedekind domain of arithmetic type with infinitely many units. In particular, our results show that $\text{SL}_2(A)^\text{ab}$ is finite, with…
